“What we witnessed in Ferguson, in Baltimore, and in Baton Rouge was a collapse of social order. So many of the actions of the Occupy movement and Black Lives Matter transcend peaceful protest, and violates the code of conduct we rely on,” Clarke said. “I call it anarchy.”

“American law enforcement officers understand that race is and has been a heated issue in our country,” he continued. “Most appreciate the vital need for thoroughness and transparency in pursuit of the greater good in their actions, and in their investigations.”

“These are truths that are self-evident to me, and which I practice, and they are the truths that Donald Trump understands and supports. Donald Trump is the steadfast leader our nation needs.”

Clarke made his own press Monday with a TV appearance where he said he had predicted the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police shootings. In a conversation with CNN’s Don Lemon that got heated, Clarke also called the Black Lives Matter movement “hateful ideology” and accused President Barack Obama of lying about statistics about police aggression against black Americans.

For Trump delegates, Clarke is a guy who can say what they want to say about Black Lives Matter. His remarks drew more enthusiastic cheers from delegates than the previous two hours of Benghazi rehashing and anti-immigrant speeches interspersed with pat speeches from lackluster politicians.
